Default Getting parts powder coated in Central IL?

Has anyone found a good powder coater in Central IL?

I'm wanting to take some parts off my Street Glide, and get them coated.

I know that Joe up in Chicago has done some fantastic work, and I've talked to him a couple of times. He has good rates too. (I just don't want to drive up there, and it's really too close to mess with shipping my parts)

I live in between Peoria and Bloomington, and have been looking around for a shop that does good work, but doesn't charge a ton.

I seem to find places that are a bit over priced, or places that do a lot of farm equipment, and I don't know that I'd trust them with my bike parts.

I've been thinking about dropping my rear strut covers off at "Like New Parts" in Pekin, IL. They have some really good rates, and I thought the strut covers might be a good "test" part, as you really don't see them much with my 4 point dock on the back.

Please let me know if you've used anyone in the area...

Well, that was fast.
Thanks!

I'd like to find something a little closer to Peoria or Bloomington, but I have a buddy that works in Jacksonville, so I'll have him check them out.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Groody Brother in KC does very good powder coating work at resonable prices.

Yeah, they're located off of Veterans right?

I called them the other day to get prices on coating my strut covers, but they wanted $25 a piece to do them in a gloss black.

I was watching a pair already coated on Ebay going for $40.

I might stop in there anyway, just to talk to them...
